Emma said Pertamina remains committed to supporting government\nprogrammes aimed at achieving national energy independence and\nsupporting the energy transition. To this end, Pertamina continues to\ndevelop its capabilities by collaborating with various stakeholders,\nincluding think tanks. Emma added that Pertamina currently pursues two\nmain pillars of its business strategy, namely optimising existing\nfossil-based businesses and accelerating the development of low-carbon\nbusinesses. The MoU covers two main pillars of cooperation: policy and\neconomic analysis in the energy sector, and capacity building and\nknowledge exchange. The MoU implementation will be carried out by\nPertamina Energy Institute (PEI) as the strategic think tank within\nPertamina. Emma stated that through the partnership with ERIA, Pertamina\nwill gain support in the form of research-based policy studies and\ncomprehensive energy economics analysis. Emma expressed hope that the\ncollaboration would strengthen Pertamina\u2019s strategic position in the\nregional arena amid the continually evolving dynamics of the global\nenergy transition. \u2018By collaborating with a range of stakeholders,\nincluding international think tanks, the capacity of the parties will be\nenhanced,\u2019 she said. In the same session, Pertamina Group also signed\nseveral other agreements, including the JSA CCS Ammonia between PT\nPertamina (Persero), PT Pertamina Hulu Energi (PHE), Perusahaan Gas\nNegara (PGN), and PT Pupuk Indonesia.
